Saturday PM

I've terribly sick with the Hong Kong Flu, and had a kidney infection, a UTI, and severe respiratory distress to go with it.
I'm still not back up to par.
I can hardly type, and can't play the piano.
I only ate two slices of toast in a week, and drank very little fluid, but slept almost non-stop.
I didn't wash my hair for a week, and didn't even go out on the porch to feed the cats.
I finally went to the ER in Jefferson City on Thursday night.  We were there for HOURS.  NEVER go to the ER if you're in a hurry.
I was so miserable the whole time.  Dorothy Reagan's daughter took care of me, and she is very nice, but I was impatient to get out of there.
Friday, Sister Valentine called to tell me that Brother Valentine had died.  The funeral is tomorrow.  He was a fine man, and will be sadly missed.  I hope all will be OK with Sister Valentine.  She will be rattling around in that huge house alone now.
I don't know if I will be able to drive over for the funeral, which will be at Blue Springs Church of God.
Brother Ingrhan will be holding the funeral, and he doesn't like me.  There's not too much love lost.
A detective located some jewelry that Penny Bailey pawned in Tazewell, which sounds suspiciously like mine.  She's never rightfully owned a piece of jewelry in her whole worthless life.  She and Randy had gone to Jefferson City and robbed the CVS at gunpoint, so the best thing that could happen to her is for her to get behind bars quickly.  Otherwise, she could wind up face down in a ditch.  She's been warned.
I'm going to get a receipt from Robert's for the repairs to her jeep, which I will also present as claims against her when she comes to trial, if she lives to show up in court.
I finished the tile work in the new upstairs bathroom today, and began cleaning the tile to get it ready for grouting.  It has quite a bit of adhesive on it, though I tried to be careful to not get any on the surface of the tile.  Steve is going to set the toilet as soon as I get the grout finished.
The bathtub surround is gorgeous, being set in travertine and copper ceramic.
It's taking forever to get all the work done.
I so want things to get finished.
My eyes are burning, so I'll post more later.

Claire ~ Sounds like you are still having a tough time of it with your health? So sorry you are experiencing such a setback ~ most likely the stress from everything else doesn't help matters any? You are in my prayers, dear friend, and hopefully you will beat this condition and be your old self again?

Hugs, Faune
